According to the Daily Mail, an insider shared how Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini’s relationship was already headed towards doom, long before the public announcement. “It started off hot and heavy and everything you’d want in a relationship, and then Chase started getting jealous over every little thing,” the source added.
Ballerini, 32, and Stokes, 33, first sparked dating rumors in early 2023. The couple was first seen at a college football game together in January of 2023. This was followed by Chase fueling the buzz by sharing a photo of them together on Instagram, captioned, “lil recap.” The hushed rumors soon turned into headline stories when Stokes and Ballerini appeared at the Academy of Country Music Awards in the spring of 2023.
During the next two years, the stars shared glimpses of their fairy tale romance. However, by 2024, fans noticed that their number of posts or stories for each other online had decreased considerably. However, both Ballerini and Stokes were quick to shut these rumors down. They did so by stepping out together on the red carpet of the Academy of Country Music Awards together in May 2024.
On September 13, 2025, Chase took to Instagram once more. This time, it featured a carousel post of photos, capturing their memorable times. The caption read, “although you keep saying you’re not excited for 32, id say I’m lookin forward to more of this. happy birthday my love.”
Two days later, on a Sunday night, Ballerini’s team confirmed that the pair had indeed parted ways, leaving their fans blindsided and speculating about what went wrong.
